To, Thekingofmagic the kitsuna, and Matt (guest). Wow, I just checked, and I have several viewers! You guys just made my day!

Nico sighed and took a breath of the fresh New Zealand air. A few weeks ago, he had decided he deserved a vacation. He was planning on going somewhere like canada, and was surprised when his father told him to go to New Zealand via dream.

"Why New zealand?" He had asked. Hades hadn't answered, busy talking to one of the furys. Nico had recognized the dismissal, and instead of staying and risking getting incinerated, he had woken up, and gotten packed.

Now, he was at a hotel in New Zealand, which, surprisingly, wasn't that bad. It was registered under one 'Mr. Di Angelo'. Apparently someone was feeling creative...

So far, there has been no monster attacks, which was... Odd, to say the least.

He wondered why Hades would send him here.

Little did he know, that soon he would be brought into a whole new war.

It could have all been avoided, if he had went inside then. If he turned away, and didn't look towards the sea, he could have missed the wraith, and everything would have been fine...

I'm so sorry! I got REALLY REALLY busy, and I know I promised you a nice, long chapter, but I was writing, and writing, and decided that I had so much, it would take me ages to deal with it. So instead, I gave you this. I'm sorry! I'm planning on updating once a week, I promise it will be better! Don't worry, we'll be seeing Seth soon... Also, I have no idea what new Zealand looks like. I don't even know if it's on the coast! I just didn't want to mess to much with what Brandon mull wrote in the last book, so I'm just guessing. Hope I don't offend anyone!

(Yeesh, this A.N. Seems to be longer then the chapter...)
